Scripting: How to Say What You Need...to Get What You Want! The Remlo Opportunity for an Additional Revenue Stream | Ed Laine | S22 E32

During Scripting Fridays on the Agent Power Huddle, Ed introduced an exciting opportunity for agents: REMLO (Real Estate Mortgage Loan Officer). Drawing from his 30+ years in real estate and mortgage lending, Ed shared how agents can become licensed loan officers through Texana Bank, creating an additional income stream while continuing to practice real estate. The program allows agents to originate loans with the support of a dedicated loan partner, earn 50–60 basis points per transaction, and operate nationwide under the bank’s federal charter. Ed emphasized the streamlined onboarding process and the strong compliance structure in place. The discussion also covered practical considerations—from managing inspections and underwriting communication to addressing lender pushback and RESPA concerns. Ed reinforced that the program is fully compliant and positioned as a value-add service for clients. The session wrapped with a reminder that opportunities like this are about diversification, service, and long-term growth—plus a look at Ed’s custom GPT tool, WhatWouldEdSay.com, for scripting and strategy support.
